TWO Months with the M1 Macbook Air: A Long Term Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- This is the M1 Macbook Air. One of Apple’s computers to use the new M1 Apple Silicon processor. It looks nearly identical to the Macbook air from early 2020. But the similarities are only skin deep. So, the question today is, should you spend your hard earned money on the first generation Apple Silicon macs? Here are my thoughts on these new M1 Macs. Let’s get started with a little review.

9:48 M1 MacBook Air vs M1 Macbook Pro
10:35 Conclusion
Now let’s talk about usage. The webcam is still 720p but the colors and details look a little better than before thanks to the image processing of the new M1 that it adopted from the iphone and ipads, it’s not a drastic difference though. The mic I would say is okay. But because the macbook air is fan-less you will never hear the blaring of your laptops fans whirling up into maximum overdrive. The screen gets nice and bright. The keyboard no longer has the keyboard backlight controls on the function buttons and if you want to adjust the backlight, you’ll now have to open the quick settings panel by pressing this little sideways nintendo switch looking logo on the top right corner. As a previous owner of a 2016 Macbook pro with similar design, I’d be careful of the following things. 1. TSA, 2. Bracelets or watches. If you’re considering these macbooks, just know while these machines are built really well, with very little flexing on their bodies, they’re not prone to scratching or denting, which some people may love or hate. Now let’s talk about performance. The only times I managed to get it to thermal throttle or get hot is when I export a 4K youtube video kind of like the one you’re watching right now. That usually happens around 8-10 minutes into the export and performance drops.But in everyday usage, like web browsing, photo editing, and even video editing before exporting. It’s only warm. It’s only in those long sustained 100% cpu and gpu usage situations that it ever gets hot or throttles the performance. If you were looking at this for school work, or general computing, then I think you’d rarely throttle it. There’s also the fact that you can download iphone and ipad apps onto the M1 Macs now. Having support for these apps are cool, and I’m sure some of them are useful but because Macs in general don’t have touch screen displays, it makes it super difficult to use iOS apps that were made with touch in mind.
When a company makes a significant change to their product and how it works, and at the same time tries to maintain the same level of features, there has to be some issues right? This isn’t an extensive list, but just issues I’ve personally encountered. I’ve experienced the laptop crashing completely when downloading iphone and ipad apps that restarted the computer by itself. When I had the M1 Macbook pro, there was a large black spot that appeared in the bottom center right of the screen. It only went away if I restarted the laptop. I’ve had Final cut pro, cut the audio randomly while I’m editing. The only way to fix it is to either just wait a few minutes, or close FCP and re-open it. I’ve had issues with the trackpad going fully unresponsive, with the only way to fix it was to restart it. I’m sure with time these issues will be fixed, but it’s also fair to say, these issues exist right now, so as a buyer you should know about them. But luckily those seem to be all software issues that can be fixed over time.

Windows person here. Recently bought my first Mac, an M1 Air - very impressive machine!
Same
Indeed!
Why do you say it is more impressive?
@@melissamikaelson9650 Well, I didn’t say more impressive than anything per se, just that it’s very impressive (for me as a Windows guy) in terms of performance, battery life, and overall user experience.
@@namakudamono can you give any examples? I may consider switching from windows because I’m kind of unhappy with battery performance. I’ve gotten several laptops this year, a mix of windows and apple, all the battery lasted only a few hours. My current laptop lasts about 3 hours before running out of battery, and so do other windows laptops. I got a MacBook earlier this year and the battery ran out even faster, but someone told me you had to let it completely die and complete a charging cycle and the battery would last longer. Though I hadn’t tried that I just returned it.

Underrated comment 🤣🤣
Man i love your reviews so much. You actually seem like a friend who is concerned about me potentially wasting my money. Appreciate your videos💖💖
Having watched lots of review videos I immediately noticed the quality of this one. Subscribed without hesitation.
Keep up the good work Jimmy!
honestly one of the best review of this laptop and I feel like I watched them all. I love the structure and attention to detail
Same!
Probably the most helpful review on the machine so far. And i must have seen over ten. Thanks!
“It has voice cracks, and can’t drink.” Lol. That’s great.
A long as it doesn't need Stridex Medicated Pads. I hated those things. A cracking voice is no issue next to PIZZA FACE. BAHAHAHA!!!
I closed my eyes and popped my ears as the audio cut out. I literally thought I destroyed my hearing. Thanks, good review.
Have had the base model m1 Air for a couple weeks, what an awesome machine. Was upgrading from a 2013 11.6" Air with 4GB of RAM. What a jump!
Have u noticed any slow down in apps or work when connecting to external monitor? Had this issue with 15mbp 2015
@@HaikidoStudio Everything is working fine for me with external display connected. This thing is fast!
I Have a 2014 11.4inch air, same RAM. Looking forward to upgrading
@@ElleBoho You're gonna love it. I have both M1 Air and M1 Pro. If it were up to me, I'd just keep M1 Air since the value is just too insane for that.

You are honestly a top tier tech RUclips content creator I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers
I really like this video. Great editing and good audio! I would have a small suggestion - it's a minor thing but use a deflicker as the flickering takes away from the awesome b-roll. Also I had the impression that sometimes the video is laggy and it's not because of my internet connection, for example 4;02 - 4;08 is a bit choppy, but again, awesome work in general!
This video helped me make the decision to buy this PC!!
Also, I really appreciate your editing on this video - must have taken forever!!
Keep it up!!
Fan from Tokyo 🗼
Wow! I never thought of scratching the MacBook with my braclet. That's a very good point!!
Loved this review!
Im more impressed by your editing skills. 10/10
I'm 100% a windows guy and still am, but can't deny how good these are. Got my wife one
Never thought I’d say I’m getting a Mac but I’m going in to get one tomorrow. Got my desktop for windows and being in tech/development Macs have some perks that are nice to have. Always liked them but their hardware was always somewhat lacking and never felt worth the price until now.
@@Shorty9856 100% agree
@@Shorty9856 window is absolutely trash. Welcome to the future.
@Kiel Enrique hahaha
@@Shorty9856 For me, switching to Mac was a bit of a pain. for starters my courses in college were mainly windows based, not a lot of support for Mac, and what was on Mac was not the best. However programming isn't so bad on Mac, the screen size is to small though, overall I have mixed feelings, but I will say its not so bad. I may get the 16 inch and go with a windows desktop best of both worlds.
And thank you so much for making this video it made my decision a little bit easier. I love the amount of detail you went into and I believe you're the first one I've seen to explain what happens when older apps are converted. I didn't know there was a bouncing delay. Thanks again
After a couple of weeks the biggest bug I found on the m1 was with the globe key to change the keyboard’s language input
It will often stop working until I use another type of shortcut on the keyboard
Watched tons of reviews and this is my favorite by far. I mean, you didn't focus only on the good stuff, you also told us about bugs and glitches. That's the type of review I like!
I'm a Mac owner since the rainbow apple logo and I own an iMac late 2009, my warrior. Unfortunately I'll have to upgrade, get a new one and I wanna know which is better: a new iMac that will stay by my side for years to come or a Macbook that will follow me everywhere I go?
I've been binging your vids. Great stuff man. Wonderfully presented, genuine and valuable content. Keep it up!
@Laura Brown no.
x2 keep it up bro
Sus
Liar
Finally a review that doesn’t kiss apples behind. Thanks and keep up the great work
i mean at this point if they keep trying to sell crapple like they have theyd lose their channel pretty quick.
people finally seem to be catching onto the whole shiny hallow apple of "selling only a marketing campaign and status symbol" bs.
but veeeeery slowly. at least yall are starting to get it...
I can’t wait to get mine this week! Subscribed!
Hi Jimmy! Glad to stumble on your channel. This was a great comprehensive review that made my decision easier.
I love the way you describe every detail aspect of Macbook Air M1 in this video. A very honest and clear message for us who are looking more information about this laptop. You got one subscribe from me, keep it up! 😄
Great review. Addressed what's on my mind literally.
Why am I still watching this if I have this laptop already LMAO
Do you agree with him? Do you like your MacBook?
I have it as well and I love it
@@abayamangali ok I think I’m going to get it
@@milezsz although I have the higher end model, the 8 core CPU and the 8 core GPU. Also maybe you should consider to wait for upcoming 16 inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon and 14 inch MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon. Rumours say that they might come out on March
@@abayamangali nope not in march, will mostly be in 3rd quarter of 2021
Thanks for this review. Just ordered. 👍🏽
I love that you brought up the little kinks you experienced. Very valuable info 👌
Good review good realistic scenarios. Had my MacBook Air with 16 gigs now for two weeks, there's a few apps that have some problems with it, there's a few funky scenarios, but overall it's fabulous. I assume that many of the issues will be resolved over the next six months as a new software comes out for it, but right now I would have to agree that it's one of the finest laptops I've ever used.
Bought my first macbook a month ago. Upgraded to 16gb ram & 1tb ssd - mainly use for graphic design & video editing. Flawless and totally worth it. No issues with Adobe software at all. Super love this machine!
how much did the storage upgrade cost
@@jamiekuhler6211 Multiple organs, but worth it.
This was epic Jimmy thx, im actually on the market for one thank God i came across this :)
Your reviews really help me! Thanks a lot.
Wow! Beautifully produced video. Loved it
nintendo swith logo. you got me on that one.
just got this!!! so excited
Awesome review man. Summarized everything you need to know in a good concise way 👍
Ahhh thank you so much!! I’m considering getting the air & your vid helped a lot :)
Informative and great content 👍
Great video! I had both a Pro and an Air. I lean on internal speakers a lot more than most. I don't like to have airpods in when I'm working or just chilling. I ended up keeping the Pro because of that. It cost a little more, but I had also upgraded it to 16 Gig of RAM. I had an issue with it and was going to return it, but it ended up being a software bug. I had bought the air to replace it. Like you, it is super impressive. I wouldn't have been able to keep it longterm with those tinny speakers. However, if you don't use internal speakers, the air is a no brainer.
Good tip. Thanks.
I love my M1 Macbook Air, I had the previous Macbook Air with the Intel i5 and the performance improvements are well worth the update. Video editing in iMovie (about to try FCPX) is amazingly smooth and rendering is fast. I would highly recommend. I only have the 8GB version with 256GB of internal storage and love it.
this was a really great review man
I wish they brought the Light-Up Apple on the front back.
It's the best waste of money humanity has ever seen
@@user-pj5wf3jm2u😂 Very well said
You mean on the back?? Sheesh
@@user-pj5wf3jm2u it actually makes the laptop cheaper
I’m pretty sure the only reason they got rid of it was to make it thinner.
When you said “and it can’t drink” I started laughing 😭
Being female, you probably did not catch the cracking voice joke that was just as funny, if not more so. Consider yourself fortunate that you did not have to survive that phenomenon. Peace.
I, a Windows user (although I have had time to extensively use macOS Mojave as I did have an old Mac), bought the M1 Air and it's been amazing so far! The battery life (even better with Low Power Mode on Monterey) and performance is great.
I'd recommend waiting for the new refreshes of the Air and the Pro as they'd be slightly better than 2020's but if you need one right now, go for it!
The only thing I miss is some game compatibility, specifically Valorant & Monster Hunter World but idm them that much. Minecraft runs at twice the speed of my old 2009 Mac Pro with no fans at all. Pretty impressive stuff.
Great and incredibly thorough review! I wanted to update my mid-2012 MacBook Pro and decided on the M1 MacBook Air.
0:09 use a post pro slow mo or higher fps setting on your camera. Doing slow mo by moving slowly is really awkward to look at. Thanks for the review.
The MacBook Air M1 is amazing, one of my best Apple purchases. No regrets!
Thanks I will try to buy it I really want it to play roblox I need a computer thanks for your sharing
@Lachlan McNeill I have a question when I’m playing among us on M1 Mac book air can I zoom in full screen? I really want to know before buying!!

Hello Jimmy, I've had problems as well with the mouse pad freezing as well, I'm so glad you mentioned that. This is also my first time buying any MacBook ever. You mentioned that it will improve, does apple also do updates on software bugs? because I was going to return it and switch it for the same version because I assumed that it was a factory error in this specific laptop.
What's your Instagram 🥺
your videos are amazing, very entertaining as well keep up the good content
I love this review so much.
Thank you :)
OK, that does it. I'm getting one.
I’m waiting for the 14” MBP
And the IP13Pro I can’t wait

I’m getting this 2 days later and I’m so excited it’s amazing
What's it like?
@@areebahmed7354 It definetely worths the money
Same here
Hi, would a casual use such as converting videos formats from avi to mp4, long hour video lectures or zoom calls, browsing the web and office be enough to thermal throttle this?
@@samuel99813 I am a Highschool student and I will be using this for my online classes between 9am-4pm and as far as I know you can use it for long hour video lectures etc. but i haven’t really tried converting video formats from avi to mp4. But this macbook is very good and converting is casual so i think it would work
Great analysis. Thank you for this video.
Great video. I ended up selling my Mac mini that I hardly used anymore and got the MBP M1 16gb ram and 1tb for 2/3 of what I sold the Mac mini 2018. This machine is so worth it if you have an intel Mac that is a couple years old as the Intel Macs have not yet started to depreciate too much and if you wait there is a really good chance that your 13 inch fully loaded 2019 or 2018 Mac will lose most if not all of its value. I got the Pro for the fan even though I have yet to hear it when I am editing hours of footage. Its more of a peace of mind. Also I don't know why people hate the Touch Bar, have they used it with Final Cut Pro or customized it? its like an addition of keyboard shortcuts and makes so much sense when typing. I hope this helps anyone who is on the verge of choosing which M1 is for them.
you really showing off that ring in the intro 👀
*PS5 remote lmao
That ring tho
Ended up returning my base model M1 MBP for an Air with 512GB SSD and 16 GB RAM because they cost about the same. I rarely ever need 100% CPU performance for more than 2-3 minutes and for the week I’ve had my Pro, the only time I could get the fans to turn on was during Cinebench. Air is the best value for sure given the excellent thermal performance of M1
Great review!
I’ve had the same audio issue with FCPX!
How is this thing real, the performance to price ratio is not like Apple at all. What is going on...
World was ending so apple decided to do something for good
watch the reviews on the SSD'S IN 6-12 months. Apparently it writes a RIDICULOUS amount of data and can potentially cause the SSD to need replacing... this said i have the 2020 intel based macbook air and it's a REALLY good machine.
@@tweedle634 uhhh no
Probably cheaper to make because they have similar processors to iPhones and iPads.
Some of the “Apple tax” is actually an Intel tax. They take a big cut and will only reduce it if the manufacturer puts Intel stickers on the machine. Apple refuses, so they pay full price minus whatever volume discount
Getting the laptop this Friday I’m so excited!!!!
I have ordered today MacBook Air 512ssd gb, 8gb of ram, 8cpu and 8 gpu...
That was after a detailed study and I hope it will be a good option for me as an undergraduate👍
Haw is your macbook air still doing well?
I just compared similarly priced PC laptops and I must say the M1 Macbook Air is a great deal.
@@j.d6009 Not true.
@@j.d6009 well, I just said that there are better options. I wasn't clear, sorry.
The Base Option is a great option (8 GB 256 GB), there isn't any laptop at 999$ that can beat it! The only problem is the software compatibility (not that big of an issue, You have Rosetta for Emulations) and if you want to use Windows, you need to buy a license for 100$ (Parallels).
There is the G14, which costs less while being similarly equipped. It got more performance and more software compatibility. The battery isn't the best, that is for sure.
You might say 8 GB are enough, well yes but actually no. As everyone knows, The Mac uses a technique called Swapping (it's actually on every OS). It saves the stuff in the RAM, when not needed, onto the SSD. This shortens the lifespan of your SSD.
On most Windows Machines, you can yourself just change the SSD. But on Apple, you can change nothing. Everything is soldered.
I would actually wait. Many people have said that Zen 3 U-Series from AMD is better than the M1. Laptops with it are slowly coming onto the market.
Definitely one of the more professional and informative videos I’ve come across so far! Thanks for this! My MacBook Pro (late 2011) has been crapping out on me for a while, but was reluctant to buy another MacBook. Finally looking into the air m1, and it seems appealing for what I need (basic daily usage)!
@@limaso306 - yes I did! Have had it for a few weeks now; it’s great! Haven’t had a ton of free time to really play around with it yet, but it’s such a refreshing upgrade! For my basic everyday needs anyway. Fast, lightweight etc. Funny thing is my husband was more excited to use it than me bc of the fast processor 🙂
@@limaso306 - ohh you’re concerned about the lack of a fan! Definitely understand the hesitancy there - this laptop hasn’t been out long enough to see if it’ll be an issue. I can just tell you from my experience and watching other videos, so far it hasn’t been an issue at all. Hope it works out for you and your needs! Maybe get AppleCare with your new laptop? That’ll help too in case any issues happen to occur!
Great review. Thank you!
Should I worry about the lack of fan in hot weather when editing photos for long hours?
Please answer this. And should i upgrade to 16gb RAM?
I have always used windows ever since 3.1 but now I got my first apple computer and I am very happy with it. I fell in love with it. Only thing I hate is the mail app, but there is always alternatives like Spark.
Why not use Outlook?
@@lahirusuraweera1055 it's not free on MacOS. On my iPhone I have Outlook.
@@juhoturunen I'm using it on my mac completely free tho
@@lahirusuraweera1055 Good for you. But it says on the download page "A qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription is required for this application" so that is why I am not using it.
@@juhoturunen ahhh. I thought you meant Outlook was a paid app in the app store. And yes I have a 365 sub so that makes sense.

Great review. Thanks man.
Terrific review both pro and con. I unboxed less than a week ago and I have to report that the track pad SUCKS- it’s 80-90% unresponsive! But maybe it’s me, as it’s my 1st Apple computer. I will certainly visit their local store again to discuss this issue very seriously. Plus, only parts of my Contact list transferred from my iPad. Time will tell.
Thank you for the plain English non technical review. It was helpful. I’m looking for a replacement for my outdated 2010 Dell Inspiron 17 inch screen. I’m considering a MacBook because my wife has an older model MacBook Pro (that she rarely uses) and she and I have Apple iPhones and iPads. I’m debating whether the ability to make my laptop compatible with my other Apple devices is worth the effort of learning to use the Apple operating system. I’ve been using Microsoft Windows OS since 1989 and the prospect of transitioning to a “new” operating system is disconcerting this old Boomer.
My current situation as well.
Strange, I've been using the M1 Air everyday since December 3rd and I haven't experienced any of the issues you mentioned.
Same. I bought mine in February and have two software updates since then, so i'm wondering if they fixed it in those updates. I'm gonna guess most likely.
Good to know
